/ School Searches Where public...,s,s:Jl~chers are concerned, t~-~- Supreme Court decision in the New Jersey case will severely restrict teachers in many states, those states still adhering to the Roman law of in loco parentis. Under that law, public school teachers were considered, presump• tively, to be agents of the parents, not the state. As parents are private persons and as the Fourth Amend- ment does not apply to searches and seizures by private persons, the Fourth Amendment did not apply to searches and seizures by public school teachers. The U.S. Supreme Court has now overruled that view in the New Jersey case. Where private school teachers are concerned, the U S. Supreme Court decision is not applicable. Searches and seizures in the private school system are outside the Fourth Amendment because their teachers are not agents of the state. D.V.KERIG

plans to construct an $800 000 multipurpose building at r.u 100 San Diego de Alcala have been temporarily checked by contro- versy over the preservation of an ar- chaeological excavation in the way of the proposed structure. Church officials had hoped to get started on the construction pro1ect by the end of next month, more than 1x years after it first was approved bJ the city's Historic Site Board. Any bmidrng proJect at the mission, which I list d on citv. stat and na• tional registnes or" historic sites, must be reviewed by the board. But city planning officials say they mtend to refer the project to the board at the end of February for an- other review of its impact on the 19· year-old archaeological excavation site that is supposed to be bulldozed to make way for the building. The move could mean an indefi• mte delay in the construction of the proposed 10,000-square-foot building that will include a 750-seat auditori- um, a kitchen, classr

SITE Oft' ARCHAEOLOGICAL COl',;TROVERSY Will bulldozer be allowed to bury past?

Moreover, Alfonso Macy, an archi- tect with the local firm of Macy Hen- derson and Cole, which bas designed the proposed building, said that builders will have to dig another six feet into the ground below the esti- mated 10 feet excavated by the ar- chaeologists - to reach solid ground to bui,d on. Although the actual excavation site would be destroyed by the build- ing project, Eagen said the church is keenly aware of the value of the mis- sion's history. He said the artifacts uncovered by the archaeological diggings would be placed on display ir, the space that will become vacant once parish activities are moved to the new building.

Serra, who will be commemorated on a U.S. stamp, also is a candidate for canonization as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, and any- thing connected with him takes on added importance, local archaeolo- gists my. As a result of Higginbotham's questions, the San Diego County Ar- chaeological Society last week passed a rei;olution urging the city to take another look at the building project. The question of archaeological preservation is complicated by a dis- agreement between USD archaeolo- gists and other local arcbaeologats over whether there is anything left at the site worthy of being preserved.

"But I wanted to ensure that the let- ter of the law was being followed, and it looked to me like it wasn't." The building project currently is being reviewed by city buildmg per- mit officials as part of the "final plan check" stage. Under ordinary cir- cumstances, the project would have been referred to Buckley for a final · "sign off," but Buckley said Higgin- botham's questions prompted him to look into the matter more closely. Higginbotham and several local archaeologists say the archaeologi- cal issue is particularly pertinent be- cause the original mission, founded in 1769, was the f' rst of a chain of 21 missions founded 10 California by Fa-, ther Junipero Serra. The bicentenni- al of his death was Aug. 23, 1984.

prompted two weeks ago by ques- tions raised by Joy Higginbotham, a docent at the mission and a member of the parish. ·Higginbotham said she checked the city' files on the project and dis• covered that the original environ- mental report on the project includ- ed a condition that the archaeologi- cal site be preserved to whatever extent possible. She said she began asking ques- tions of Buckley and other planning officials after learning the architects on the project planned to bulldoze the excavation site. "I had reconciled myself to the buildi g going in over the archaeo- logical site, although I was sad about the site being covered up," she said.

Eagen said the design of the pro- posed building is based in part on the design of a structure that stood in the same spot, according to a sketch of the mission dated 1846 and 1848. In what could be described as an archaeological field classroom, USO students began excavating at the mission in 1965, and the project con- cluded last spring. The diggings man- aged to locate the remains of major mission buildings and uncovered more than 6,000 artifacts, such as bottles and tools.

Such a condition had been attached to the original approval of the project ix years ago, but the build- ing was postponed while the diocese embarked on an effort to start a new parish m Tierrasanta. In the interim, city officials said. the plans for the building had changed. In addition, archaeological exca- vation at the site went on, and Buck- ley said preservation no longer may be necessary or even possible be- cause the continued excavation work by USO since then has removed the area originally intended for preser- vation. "I'm very concerned because this is going to mean another delay," said Mgsr. I. Brent Eagen, pastor of the mission for the t 14 years and chancellor of the San Diego Catholic Diocese. "The parish bas grown tre- mendously, from about 135 famihes in 1971 to more than 1,300 now, and we need that facility very badly." The proposed building · the latest

Bill Butler, a church member and organizer of the program, said about 50 persons attended the program Sat- urday night in the church's meeting hall. "It was an artistic success," Butler said. "We didn't expect it to be a great financial success because this was the first such show of what we plan to be an annual event." Swanke, a USD voice and music student and member of the church, was slain in November by a man whom authorities believe gave her a ride after her car ran out of gas. Reward money offered for informa- tion on her abduction and death never was awarded. The money went into a memorial scholarship fund at the university.

was cut. Young said no one has contacted his office seeking the money, though he has had several calls suggesting the money be used to fund a scholarship in Swanke's name. The university already has started a music scholarship in her honor and the reward money could be used to enrich that fund, said Sara Finn, director of public relations for the uni- versity. And starting this year, an award in Swanke's name will be given annually to an outstanding graduating senior in the university's honors program, Finn said. Swanke was last seen alive about 2 a.m. Nov. 20. carrying a can of gasoline toward her car on Parkway Drive in La esa. Four days later,

"It's not as though you don't want to pay the money out, but you don't want to just give it out helter-skelter," Young said. A final decision is expected to be made by the end of the week, after Young meets again with authorities and the anonymous donor who put up the bulk of the reward money. .

She was left for dead after her throat

a hiker discovered her partially clad body on a hillside in Spring Valley. After her disappearance, Swanke's father a philosophy professor at the university and oth- ers raised $5,000 to fund a search for her. When the body was found, an anonymous donor stepped forward and added $20,000 to the fund targeted for tips. · The u~versity has the $5,000 initially of- fered, while the $20,000 remains with the anon- ymous donor, Young said. USD officials declin- ed comment on whether they have asked the donor to turn the reward money over to the university. A third segment of the reward fund - $1,000 put up by the San Diego Crime Stoppers Pro- gram - probably won't be awarded either said George Saadeh, a businessman who head~ the group.
